Research has never been so dangerous
Respected lore master Volothamp Geddarm is back! He's written a fantastic dissertation highlighting some of the most iconic monsters in the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons®. But Elminster, the Sage of Shadowvale himself, thinks Volo is getting some details completely wrong. Don't miss out as Volo and Elminster enlighten the ignorant with their shared knowledge of creatures both familiar and obscure.
An inspiration for any game master, this book explores the histories and lairs of a wide variety of monsters, including giants, mind flayers, orcs, and goblinoids. Players will also find rules for playing numerous new races, including the angelic Aasimar and the feline Tabaxi. Also included are the play values for dozens of monsters - some completely new and some from the role-playing game's past. Now they are ready to enrich D&D adventures as powerful allies or fearsome foes.
